Nevertheless, advanced technologies have always been the driving force of new opportunities and further development. Constant R&D on new technologies namely nanotechnology can bring market advantage for innovative companies.

*Advancements in Nanotechnology Supported by Government Initiatives to Drive the Market Growth*

Years of investments in nanotechnology have made the world to succeed in developing nanosensors for various applications. The industries using nanosensors hold great potential for future profitability in nanosensors include robotics and the Internet-of-Things (IoT), transportation, construction and energy storage, food management; environmental monitoring; and security, surveillance, and military.

Furthermore, with the rising significance of intelligent packaging, adoption of nanosensors is expected to witness a considerable increase. Nanotechnology, nano minerals and nanosensors in the agri-food sector, including feed and nutrient components, intelligent packaging and quick detection systems, can be seen as the new source of key improvements in the agricultural sector.

Nanotechnology has emerged as one of the foremost areas of focus globally owing to these advancements highly supported by the government regulations. For instance, the Cabinet Office of Japan, MEXT and METI have recognized the necessity and have dedicated divisions in the ministries focused only on nanotechnology. The U.S. government R&D initiative, the National Nanotechnology Initiative established in 2001 is still active and propelling the market in the region.

*Healthcare Industry to Witness a Disrupting Growth*

The healthcare and the biomedical sector is the largest initial market for nanosensors owing to increasing requirement for rapid, compact, accurate and portable diagnostic sensing systems. As Urgent Care Centers (UCC) and Retail Clinics Centers (RC) have become popular as the need for convenient care continues to grow because of the long waits seen by the Emergency Departments.

Growth in urgent care center and retail clinic encourages IVD firms to prioritize focus. Moreover, with the increasing rates of patients suffering from diabetes, government bodies in various countries are investing into developments of diagnostics techniques. For instance, Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan had granted national reimbursement for the FreeStyle Libre glucose monitoring system in August 2017.

The revolutionary system was aimed to be widely available to the more than 1 million Japanese people ages six and above with diabetes. This stimulated the nanosensors adoption in the healthcare sector.

However, companies providing nanosensors in medical applications have to consider molecular characteristics, toxicity, possible secondary reactions releasing any toxic side products, leachants, and the effect when these materials deteriorate. Regulatory factors affect the medical market, so companies providing products that do not require FDA clearance have better chance to succeed in this market.

*North America Dominated the Market*

The major factor driving the nanosensors market in North America is growing demand of nanosensors in military and homeland security as they are used for the detection of radiations and biotoxins. According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute,

North America had accounted for 41.33% of the global military expenditure, which was the largest share among all regions. They also have benefited the military by helping in the development of advanced Warfield gear, such as lighter vehicles and self-repairing tents.

With the increased defense budget of the region specifically the United States, the demand for nanomaterials and components is expected to increase. The U.S. military spending dropped in 2013, it recovered from 2016 and is expected to increase in future owing to the advancement needs in military and defense sector of the region.

In addition, cost effective manufacturing due to compactness of nanosensors is set to bring about a positive transition in the nanosensors market. Also, the increasing demand for smaller and faster portable diagnostic sensing systems are the major factors driving the growth of nanotechnology in biomedical and healthcare segment in North America. All these factors contribute to the increasing demand for nanosensors in North America.

The Clinical Data Analytics Market was valued at USD 2.97 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach a value of USD 16.58 billion by 2023 at a CAGR of 33.07% over the forecast period of 2018-2023.

The healthcare industry, in recent years, has witnessed a paradigm shift, with the accelerated adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) leading to the integration of the physical world with the digital. Thus, pointing to a seismic shift in the volume and quality of clinical data.

With the integration of analytics, the healthcare industry has been facilitated with the advantage to record valuable information and datasets ranging from patient preferences, individual medical history to therapies and procedures that have proven to be effective in treating specific diseases and injuries.

The feasibility of preventive care over reactive care, provision of evidence-based treatment to patients, and facility of personalized care, are expected to be some of the driving factors for the growth of clinical data analytics in the Asia-Pacific region.

*Technological Advancements in Healthcare*

Many of the technologies used in medicine and healthcare have been undergoing high digitization and technological change. Many new developments such as electronic medical records, telemedicine, sensors and wearable technology, wireless communications, and other developments have aided in the use of clinical data analytics for better patient care and targeted drug usage.

Many industry experts believe the medical industry is in a rapid change over to consumer focused services, which could further aid the development of clinical data analytics. Development of wearable technology is one of the primary factors enabling clinical data analytics.

The success of wearable devices such as Fitbit, Pebble, Apple iWatch, and other consumer-grade fitness trackers has grabbed the attention of physicians. Many meaningful insights can be derived from the day-long recording of patient's basic vital statistics. Apple sold over a million watches in China.

*Pharmaceutical Industry - The Primary Recipient of Clinical Data Analytics*

Pharmaceutical companies, to tackle various regulatory requirements, falling R&D productivity, and to optimize the value chain, have been identified to integrate clinical data analytics to create competitive differentiation.

Though the clinical data analytics market in the pharmaceutical industry is still in the nascent stage, the scenario is expected to change by 2020, to tackle problems related to site activation, on-site identification, and patient recruitment, to name a few.

Clinical data analytics in the pharmaceutical industry decreases the time to market a drug, identifies and mitigates risks in the clinical trial process itself, adheres to various regulations and provides a single source of conclusion by integrating multiple data sources. These benefits have made clinical data analytics a preferred choice over conventional methodologies, thus, increasing its adoption.

*China is a Major Market*

Increasing patient pool, steadily increasing drug development costs and timelines, and a growing opportunity in the pharmaceutical industry has made China a hotspot for clinical data analytics in healthcare.

Multi-national pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations (CRO), academic institutions, and service providers have taken advantage of the recent regulatory changes in China, to establish their presence in the drug manufacturing industry, thereby paving a path for the growth of clinical data analytics in healthcare in the region.

Owing to the benign new regulations, it is estimated that a total of 41% of the organizations conducted clinical trials in China in 2016, and around 33% of all the organizations raised the number of cases enrolled in China in the past two years, emphasizing the importance of clinical data analytics.

*   •  The ongoing USD retracement failed to assist the pair to build on an intraday uptick.
   •  Cautious mood further underpins JPY’s safe-haven demand and exerting pressure.*

After an initial uptick to mid-113.00s, the USD/JPY pair met with some fresh supply and dropped to fresh session lows in the last hour.

The pair extended last week's retracement slide from 1-1/2 week tops, with a combination of negative forces exerting some downward pressure for the second consecutive session on Monday. The ongoing US Dollar corrective fall from 1-1/2 year tops, amid uncertainty over the Fed's monetary policy outlook for 2019, kept a lid on the pair's attempted intraday rebound. 

This coupled with concerns over the outlook for global growth, especially after Friday's dismal macro data from China and Europe, underpinned the Japanese Yen's safe-haven demand and further collaborated to the pair's weaker tone at the start of a new trading week. 

It, however, remains to be seen if the current pull-back finds some buying interest at lower levels or the marks the end of the recent up-move from the very important 100-day SMA support amid absent market moving economic releases. 

Heading into this week's key event risk - the highly anticipated FOMC monetary policy update, traders are likely to refrain from placing any aggressive bets and might help limit any meaningful downside, at least for the time being.

Yohay Elam, FXStreet's own Analyst explains: “The most significant event of the week is Wednesday's all-important Fed decision. A rate hike is fully priced in, but expectations about the guidance for 2019 remain wide open. The latest forecast on rates by the Fed showed three increases next year. Recent dovish comments and unimpressive economic data caused some second thoughts about only one hike or even none at all.”

*Technical outlook*

“The Relative Strength Index on the four-hour chart is balanced at around 50 and Momentum is not showing any trend. The pair is hovering slightly above the 50 and 200 Simple Moving Averages, but this is unlikely indicative of any significant movement,” he added further.
